Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
